The smoked salmon of Ireland are sweeter and more bland than the Scottish. With the luxury prices of imported Irish salmon, we don't have it very often. However, this Cured Trout is a substitute with a similar, though individual, flavor. The process takes 7 days but requires little work —just a few minutes of attention each day.
